This is not necessarily accurate anymore, I don’t want to start a symposium on IS300’s in this thread but the WS5 is not a great transmission, parts are rare now and manual IS cost a big premium as you have ascertained… the more popular and cost effective conversion now is the CD009 from Nissan.
If you want to go the turbo route you might as well just spend the $10k on a 2JZGTE with transmission and put that in rather than trying to turbo the existing 2JZGE.
